ALSO MAKING INROADS is pop singer Sophie B. Hawkins, who is "bouncing" into the movie business on her own terms with sound- track placements and a movie chronicling her own musical experience. Hawkins, who left Sony Music by her own request and took her li- censes with her, has been actively involved in exploiting her wealth of material and has succeeded in getting a newly remixed version of her song "Lose Your Way" on the soundtrack to the Miramax film "Bounce" (which stars Ben Affleck and Gwyneth Paltrow). The track is from her third and final album for Columbia, "Timbre," but it is actually being treated as a new release. "That album was never promoted properly and was barely heard," Hawkins says. "So, to most peo- ple the song is new to people in the U.S. Plus, we've remixed it. It's so fulfilling to see the music come to life, finally." She adds, "There's so much I can do now. The label saw me as one thing, and if I wasn't that, I was nothing. Well, now I'm something on my own terms." HAWKINS The track is slated to be a single from the sound- track, which hits stores Nov. 7 through the Engine/ Arista. The album also contains tracks from Leigh Nash of Sixpence AM None The Richer, Sarah McLachlan, Carly Simon, and Dido. Meanwhile director Gigi Gaston has completed a documentary on Hawkins titled "The Cream Will Rise" for the Sundance Channel. It has played at film festivals around the world and chronicles a Hawkins iff tour and contains more than 20 songs from the artist. Since Hawkins has newfound freedom, what about a soundtrack for it? "That is definitely in the realm of possibilities now, which itself is an exciting prospect," she says.
ANGELIC TUNES: While none of them have the trendsetting hair- do Farrah Fawcett gave pop culture, the new Charlie's Angels are hitting theaters with a soundtrack as upbeat and jiggly as the trio themselves. The album is a mixture of old and new songs, with the new fodder coming from Destiny's Child ( "Independent Woman") and Aerosmith ( "Ya Mamma"). On the score side, Edward Shearmur ( "Cruel Intentions," "Jakob The Liar," and "Blue Streak ") does an excellent job of capturing the campy, action- packed feel of the film. Shearmur, who did a seven -year www.Camlazz.com apprenticeship with the award -winning Michael Kamen, is quickly gaining credibility on his own. More on him later, as he is currently working on the Sandra Bullock star vehicle "Miss Congeniality."
